Chapter 480: Exaggerated Laughter
"I've seen Brother Chen's previous works, they are all very exciting. It looks like this new drama will not disappoint us!"
"I just don't know what kind of ratings will Friends create in Ou Mei?"
"Brother Chen will prove his worth to them!"
“…”
But of course, quite a number of Oumei netizens expressed doubts about this.
“I think these data are all false!”
"Haha, as far as I know, the Chinese have always been known for counterfeiting!"
"They can do a lot of incredible things just to save face!"
"Just wait and see. I think the show 'Friends' won't suit the tastes of us Ou Mei people! Don't forget, Su Chen is just a Chinese artist!"
"The attitudes of the major platforms in Ou Mei speak for themselves. They are professionals. We don't know whether a drama is good or not. How can professionals not tell?"
“…”
In fact, senior executives of major television media companies in Oumei share the same view.
The ratings data of Su Chen’s TV series may be inflated.
Because in their opinion, the ratings of Su Chen's TV series are really exaggerated.
There are a total of 1.4 billion people in China, and 500 million of them are watching "Friends" at the same time?
Who would believe this if I told them to others?
You know, in the Ugly Country, the Super Bowl Gala, known as the Ugly Country Spring Festival Gala, only has about 100 million viewers.
They couldn't believe that the audience appeal of Su Chen's TV series could be so terrifying!
Just watch, NBC is going to make a fool of itself!
Yes, at this moment, all major television media companies in the United States are waiting to see NBC make a fool of itself.
It would be hilarious if "Friends" creates extremely low ratings when it is released in the U.S.!
Trying to save the company's disadvantage in the ugly country through a Chinese artist?
This sounds like a huge joke in itself, doesn't it!
The situation in Eagle Country is similar.
Many netizens are mocking that Sun Media is playing tricks again.
"Sun Media is best at gossip!"
"Indeed, this wave of operations by Sun Media has enriched our lives!"
"Are you sure that Su Chen knows what our lives are like? Why do you believe that he can make a TV series that is close to our lives?"
“…”
In such an external atmosphere.
Time quickly came to 7:30 in the evening local time.
NBC's top executives began to get nervous.
Because at this time, netizens on the Internet and major social platforms have launched various expectations and future prediction votes about "Friends".
As a result, most netizens are not optimistic about the prospects of "Friends".
Many people even shrugged it off, saying it was just a farce.
As a result, NBC's top executives immediately felt the pressure.
Such online surveys have a direct impact on the ratings of "Friends".
Although, a large number of netizens have previously expressed their disapproval of Su Chen's TV series.
But that can be understood as complaining. There are many cases where people watch the video while complaining.
The situation now is completely different.
These voting results show netizens' willingness to watch the show.
If most of the U.S. netizens express their unwillingness to watch "Friends", then can the ratings of this TV series still be high?
At this moment, the business representatives who introduced "Friends" were even more nervous.
This is what "Friends" would have done.
It is very likely that they will become the scapegoat.
It's common practice for those senior executives to pass on the blame.
I hope so. I hope Su Chen’s TV series will be more awesome.
At this time, they can only place their hopes on Su Chen.
See this situation.
HBO saw it as an opportunity.
We also took the opportunity to launch an expectation survey for "Watchmen".
Although HBO’s promotion efforts for “Watchmen” are quite strong.
But if we can use "Friends" as a foil, the effect might be better.
And the result did not disappoint them.
Most of the Ugly American netizens expressed that they hope to see "Watchmen" aired as soon as possible and said they would definitely watch the premiere of the show.
"The movie version of Watchmen has given me a great surprise. I hope the TV version of Watchmen will not disappoint me!"
"HBO productions must be top quality! Damon is also a top screenwriter, this show won't be bad!"
“This is probably the drama I want to watch !”
“…”
When screenwriter Damon saw this scene, he felt more confident.
Indeed, Su Chen had previously demonstrated powerful magical attributes.
However, this may not work in the field of ugly Chinese TV dramas.
Originally, "Watchmen" is a classic comic book novel with a broad fan base.
Coupled with Zack's previous film version of "Watchmen", this IP has become even more popular.
Taking all factors into consideration, Damon could not find any reason why he would lose to Suchen's "Friends".
The time quickly came to 7:58 in the evening.
HBO has entered the commercial break before the release of "Watchmen".
It has to be said that this is the same for commercial television stations all over the world.
The majority of netizens in China are even more nervous at this time.
This is a critical moment for Su Chen's TV series to go global.
"I got up early in the morning just to see Brother Chen's good news!"
"To be honest, if it wasn't for witnessing the magic of Brother Chen's TV series, I would never have gotten up so early!"
“The situation doesn’t seem optimistic!”
"All I know is that our Brother Chen has the attributes of a divine weapon. He can kill gods and ghosts!"
"I think we should be patient enough. Due to the unfamiliar climate and environment, our Chen Ge's TV series may have a bad start, but with the super high quality of Chen Ge's TV series, it will surely make a comeback step by step."
“…”
This moment.
Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun, and all the members of the "Friends" crew were all closely following the release of Ugly Country and Eagle Country.
Although everyone had been mentally prepared, their mood still became gloomy when they checked NBC's real-time viewership.
3 million!
Yes, this is the ratings data of NBC TV in the United States that they found.
The data of Eagle Country Sun Media is even uglier.
Only 2 million viewers!
This makes the local popularity index fall short by more than a little bit.
But at this time, everyone was out of reach.
There is no way to boost the ratings of "Friends" in Ou Mei.
Well, then we can only wait impatiently for "Friends" to make a comeback.
Yes, they are so confident in Su Chen’s TV series.
This is a sitcom that everyone on this planet will love!
People from all walks of life in the entertainment industry were surprisingly quiet at this time.
Because everyone is watching.
At a time like this, it was obviously not appropriate for them to say much.
It’s not a good idea to praise Su Chen. After all, "Friends" is about to be released. If this show flopped miserably, wouldn’t that be a slap in their own face?
And according to current data, the probability is still very high.
The real-time audience number of 3 million is still far from being a big fire.
The Ugly Country is not China. Without the support of his loyal local fans, can Su Chen make a comeback?
This is obviously a very big question.
Click to dislike?
That's even worse.
You must know that Su Chen has now become a national idol. Stepping on Su Chen will make things difficult for all netizens on the Internet.
What's more, Su Chen is now shouting the slogan for Chinese TV dramas to enter Oumei.
Things like this should only be praised and not criticized, otherwise, they will be standing against all netizens on the Internet!
Okay, so at this time, we should deal with their sour mood.
After working hard all their lives, is it possible for them to have a moment like this, one that receives the attention and expectations of the entire network?
Obviously it is unlikely.
Why do all the highlights belong to Su Chen alone?
At this moment, Su Chen was in an unusually calm mood.
The unfavorable start was foreseeable.
After all, his fan base in Oumei is still too weak.
It is impossible for a situation like this to happen in China, where a show becomes a hit as soon as it is aired.
But Su Chen believes that with the extremely high quality of "Friends", it will eventually convince the audience in Oumei.
Netizens in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Korean Country, the Sakura Country, Annan, Malaysia, etc., are also paying close attention to the developments of Ou Mei at this time.
"Bless Brother Chen!"
"Although it's a bad start, I believe that Brother Chen will be able to make a comeback!"
"Brother Chen will win! Don't ask me why! If you ask, it's just a no-brainer!"
"I am very honored that Friends premiered in the Land of Sakura last night. I can responsibly tell the world that this is a TV series of excellent quality!"
“Friends can make people laugh wherever it is shown!”
“…”
It has to be said that domestic netizens and netizens in various regions of the Asia-Pacific region have performed very well at this time.
However, in reality, such an effect did not directly boost the ratings of "Friends" in the Ugly Country and the Eagle Country.
After the commercial, when the first episode of "Friends" was officially aired, the ratings data was almost unchanged from before.
This immediately dealt a heavy blow to the top management of NBC.
Well, to be honest, they didn't expect Su Chen's TV series to have a big hit right at the start.
But with Su Chen's counterattack over Justin and Biangsi, and the wave of popularity he created in Oumei, they thought that Su Chen's TV series would be able to get at least three million viewers at the launch, right?
You know, the monthly download volume of the song "Take Me to Your Heart" sung by Su Chen on Billboard is close to five million.
But the actual viewership figures that have come out now seem to have poured cold water on NBC's top executives.
Being a fan of music does not mean being a fan of a TV series.
They may still have a long way to go!
Yes, after watching all 24 episodes of the first season of "Friends", although the ratings were not good when it was first broadcast, the senior executives of NBC still had enough confidence in Su Chen's TV series.
Perhaps, it will also take some time for the audience in Ou Mei to accept Su Chen's TV series.
Just like Su Chen's song when it first landed on the Billboard music charts.
Justin was full of curiosity about Suchen's new drama.
Indeed, the expectations of American audiences for Su Chen's TV series are very low.
But out of his belief in Su Chen's talent, Justin still wanted to take a look.
How about Su Chen's TV series?
Whether the expectations of the Ugly Country audience are high is one thing, and whether Su Chen’s TV series is good is another.
Justin felt this very deeply when he was on the Billboard charts.
Before Su Chen's song reached the top 100 of the Billboard charts, who would have thought that Su Chen could dominate the charts.
So, whether "Friends" is good or not, you still have to watch it to know.
Justin decided to test the poison on himself.
At that moment, he locked the TV to the NBC TV series channel.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Just a few minutes later, the room was filled with laughter.
This made the assistant outside very puzzled.
"My dear Justin, what's the matter with you?"
Ever since Justin's song was crushed by Su Chen's on the billboard, the assistant felt that something was not right with Justin.
Could it be that this child has suffered psychological trauma from Su Chen's abuse and his temperament has changed drastically?
"Quick! Come and see!"
“Friends is hilarious!”
Justin said, laughing out of breath.
It seems like a story happening around you, with humorous and funny plots and dialogues.
Justin fell in love with this sitcom at once.
“Is it really that beautiful?”
The assistant couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Justin has been possessed by Su Chen?
“Ahahahahaha…”
However, after a few dozen seconds, the assistant laughed even more exaggeratedly.
…
At this time, Biangsi became interested in this matter.
It’s simple, because Su Chen’s TV series premiere was coldly received in Ugly Country.
If Su Chen's TV series fails in the Ugly Country, it can at least restore some of her dignity, right?
Since most netizens don’t want to watch Su Chen’s TV series, does "Friends" still want to make a comeback?
That's unlikely.
So at this time, Biangs also turned on the TV series and locked on NBC.
She wanted to see how bad Su Chen's TV series was.
Watching your opponent's bad drama can somewhat relieve your anger.
The agent did nothing to stop Biangsi from doing this.
In fact, the agent knew very well that after the humiliating loss to Su Chen, Biangsi had been in a bad mood these days.
A legendary queen from Ou-Mei lost to a new Chinese singer. No matter how you look at it, it is a huge shame. No one can easily overcome this hurdle.
Now that Biangs has found an outlet to vent her emotions.
Why would the agent stop it?
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Biangsi burst into laughter.
Seeing this situation, the agent breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes! You should laugh out loud!"
"The last time I lost to Su Chen, it was just an accident. This matter has passed!"
“We should look forward and greet tomorrow with a smile!”
